“Captivating and heartwarming…Animal lovers will howl with joy.”
—Red Tricycle
This beautiful picture book follows the journey of a young gray wolf who garnered nationwide attention when he became the first wild wolf in California in almost a century.
Using facts recorded by Fish & Wildlife scientists, author Emma Bland Smith imagines the wolf’s experiences in close detail as he makes an epic 2,000-mile trek over three years time. The wolf’s story is interwoven with the perspective of a young girl who follows his trek through the media. As she learns more about wolves and their relationships with humans, she becomes determined to find a way to keep him safe by making him a wolf that is too famous to harm.
“A young girl follows the wolf’s journey and, along the way, learns about issues around the re-introduction of wolves. It’s an opportunity to engage young readers beyond the story.”
—Herald Net
From the Publisher
Journey’s Route
The Real Journey
In May 2014 biologists with US Fish and Wildlife Service discovered this photo of Journey when they checked their remote motion-detection camera in Jackson County, Oregon.
OR7’s Journey
In September 2011 OR7 left the Imnaha Pack in Northeastern Oregon and began the nearly two-thousand-mile journey that made him famous. Because OR7 had been fitted with a radio collar earlier that year, biologists were able to use the readings to track his travel.
This map is an artistic rendering of Journey’s route; it is not drawn to scale.
